Not one for lounging poolside with a drink in your hand during your vacation (yeah, me either)? How about trying a multi-thousand kilometer bike ride across the world’s second largest continent? You can make it happen with groups like Tour d’Afrique. For a little inspiration, check out the sunset over the Valley of the Kings at 3:32.
I'm thinking about starting my touring career with a Pacific Coast ride this summer (any tips, Hal?). This video makes me look like a Sally. Cool vid.

I've never toured in the U.S., but I've heard the Pac. Coast is stunning, plus lots of camping options along the way. Check here for route ideas: http://www.adventurecycling.org/routes/index.cfm
